It was 3:43. Thunder was crashing and the rain was pouring. Suddenly my father rushed into my room. “Adam! Adam! Get up! We’re flooding!” he shouted and shook me by the shoulders. That woke    up! I ran downstairs to the basement. It was like a swimming pool. My mother and I immediately started to pick up things and take them upstairs. I had no      on, so my feet were quite freezing.
Things got worse every minute. Within the next hour, we had moved everything that we could to the first floor. The computer, big-screen television and heavy boxes       with our most valuable things were taken to safety.       , our piano, sofa, washing machine and water heater were all still down there—being       . There was nothing we could do.
That was the hardest part. Knowing that your home is being destroyed is bad enough, but       that you can’t do anything to stop it feels even worse.
Water had come in our front door. Rescue      were floating in our streets. Mother told me to pack an overnight bag of clothes and valuables and get ready to leave.
When it was        safe to walk outside, all the people in the neighborhood        at the street corner. People became friends, and friends became like family. People      each other. We learned later that the National Weather Service had declared the storm a flash flood.
I really have      something from this flood. I’ve learned what destruction is. I have learned what       means. I know in the future, when I watch people’ s lives affected by natural disasters, I can understand them. I will show great pity on them and I will do what I can to help them.

For hundreds of years, Japan has been hit, from time to time, by enormous (巨大的) tsunamis（海啸）. These awful sudden risings of the sea are caused by earthquakes or underwater volcanic actions. The story of the boy Yuuki is the story of such a disaster.
Yuuki lived with his family in a seaside village, below a small mountain. One day, as he played on top of the mountain, Yuuki felt a small earthquake but it was not strong enough to frighten anybody and passed quickly. Soon after, however, Yuuki noticed the sea darken and begin running away from the shore very fast, leaving behind wide stretches of beach that had never been seen before.
With a grasp, Yuuki remembered reading that just before a terrible tsunami, the sea suddenly and quickly rolls backward. He ran to the beach, warning the villagers who had gathered to admire the new beach land.
“Get back!” shouted the boy, “There is a terrible danger!”
But no one listened. They laughed at him and continued playing in the new sand and watched the sea roll backward even more.
Desperate, Yuuki could think of only one thing to do. He lit a tree branch, raced to the rice fields and began burning the harvested rice. Then he called out, “Fire! Fire! Everyone run to the mountain! Now!”
When everyone reached the mountain-top, a villager cried out, “Yuuki is mad! I saw him set the fire.” Yuuki hung his head in shame, but said nothing as the villagers cursed him. Just then, someone shouted, “Look!”
In the distance what seemed to be a huge dark line was speeding towards the shore. As it got nearer the people realized the long thin line of darkness was the returning sea, towering like a mountain.
The villagers watched in terror as the water struck the shore, smashing over their homes then tearing out the land as it receded.
On the mountain everyone stared speechlessly at the destruction below.
“I'm sorry I burned the fields,” said Yuuki, his voice trembling.
“Yuuki,” village-chief answered. “You saved us all.”
The villagers cheered and raised Yuuki into the air. “We were going to
celebrate our rice harvest tonight,” said one, “but now we’ll celebrate that we’re all still alive!”

Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of about 80 miles. It was late, and I was driving          .
At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroad with a traffic light. I was         on the road by now, but as I came near the light, it turned         , and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right, and behind me. Nothing. No car, no suggestion of headlights,          there I sat, waiting for the light to        , the only human being, for at least a mile in any       .
I started wondering why I         to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was         no policeman anywhere around and there certainly would have been no         in going through it.
Much later that        , after I'd met with a group in Lewisburg and had climbed into bed near midnight, the question of why I'd stopped for that light         me. I think I stopped         it's part of a contract(契约) we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it's an agreement we have, and we trust each other to follow          : we don't go through red lights.
We do          we say we'll do. We show up when we say we'll show up.
I was so        of myself for stopping for that red light. And as no one would ever have known what a good person I was on the road from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, I had to tell someone.
